New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday praised the ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana Yojana’ because it was finished seven years, said the scheme, which facilitated a bank population that did not have a bank account, had forever changed the trajectory of India’s development.
It has ensured financial inclusion and life of dignity and empowerment for countless Indians, said PM Modi, adding that the initiative also increased transparency.
“I want to praise a tireless effort from everyone who has worked to make PM Jan Dhan successful.
Their efforts have ensured the Indian people lead a better quality of life.” He tweeted.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman noted that 36.86 Bank Crore accounts from Crore 43.04 opened under this program operate.
The government has said that the inclusion of the finances of a large number of poor populations has helped a number of welfare programs, including cash transfers, in achieving their target population.
